They probably need your address for tax purposes. Especially the EU is really strict on charging us VAT for foreign purchases.
It does completely kill the anonymity though, I agree. It's strange that in this case they're worse than something like duck duck go. Because they don't require payment they simply have less data on you (especially confirmed data). I'm sure kagi protects it but the data you don't even have is even better protected.

- wkat4242 2y agoYeah but that means trusting them. I don't need to trust anyone not to share information they don't even have. They should really allow anonymous payments like mullvad does. There you're just a random number and you can pay with crypto without any addresses.
- freediver 2y agoPrivacy Pass removes the need for 'trust'. It gives you cryptographical guarantees of anonymity.
- superkuh 2y agoJust as long as you now give your trust to the Kagi made browser extension (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/kagi-privacy-pass/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/kagi-privacy-...) that is required and has access to your browser. Big yikes.
